socket programming

The document contains a Python implementation of a simple calculator server and client using sockets. The server performs basic arithmetic operations (add, subtract, multiply, divide) based on client requests and handles errors such as invalid operations and division by zero. The client connects to the server, sends requests in a specified format, and displays the server's responses.
